Christian Purslow - Resigned

[robbo1874]

Purslow is in a tricky spot here. Earlier in the season, he’s massively backed Deano with a four year deal (which I admit I welcomed at the time). That now looks like a huge error. So if Smith gets punted, it calls Purslow’s judgement into question and then if that happens, purslow’s position becomes untenable and he has to go also. There’d be a few Coronavirus prayer mats coming out in the VP boardroom, if it didn’t mean bigger losses through match day revenue etc, I reckon

Isn’t this new contract a bit of a red herring though, it has been suggested that the new contract was due to Dean getting us promoted and it just took some time to sort out.

BoVillan - get a fucking grip and please keep politics out of this. We are dealing with a global pandemic, not a Tory /'austerity' plot.

It is a red herring, in that there will be a fixed compensation clause in the event that the parties part company.
More the point is: if Purslow does decide to pull the trigger on DS, when would be the optimal time to do it, given all the considerations?

I watched an interview with him from a couple of weeks back on AVTV, and he reminds me of a generic Tory minister from back when they were plausible. Most CEOs probably come across that way, but I'm not mad keen.

He is more Smooth Marketing Director than your  CEO type.

Either way, I'm not sure I believe him.

He has backed Smith and Suso which looks has failed, competant football CEOs are about as abundant as good Football managers.

This is akin to me buying a lovely racehorse and someone entering it for the donkey derby.  Surely the owners cannot be happy with what is going on?

He's the Swiss Tony of football executives.

That’s not fair. That bloke who was deep cleaning the goal posts was doing a great job.
